Customer Reviews

A Rare Find!

It's very rare to encounter Milton's works in the original Englosh! Almost nobody speaks, reads or writes Englosh anymore, and it's delightful to think that Milton might have been one of my drinking buddies!

Greatest English writer

This book is a delight. Great for anyone who loves English literature. Possibly the greatest man ever to write in English; rivalled only by Shakespeare. I'm not much of a fan of poetry, but this takes my breath away. Only quibble: for a text this wonderful and timeless, I would have expected a better presentation. The paperback of this book has a cheap binding, and is printed on what feels like pulp paper.
